Living in New York

public transportation system alone. But fear not because the
MTA just rolled out a new app that’s giving
commuters hope for more pleasant rides. It promises more user-friendly,
real-time updates on all trains, subways, and buses – now that’s a
relationship we’re ready for. Download it today and see for yourself! 🚆🚕🚆
And if you prefer to
travel by foot, we’ve got just the thing for you. Check out these
gorgeous hiking sites just outside the city that will
have you wanting to spend all your weekends around flowing waterfalls and
forest trails. 🏃🏼♂️🏃🏽♀️🌳
Looking to soak up
some sun in the city AND get your drink on? We’ve got you covered on the best
parks to hit up and how
to enjoy some nice *refreshments* while you’re spread on
a picnic blanket. 🥂😏👅
You may not have
heard of Desmond Napoles yet, but that’s about to change. Meet the
10-year-old who’s vogueing
his way to stardom with his quirky personality and
fierce ambitions. 👑😻🙌🏼
Peace out NY and
remember to stay cool. 😎🚕✨

Parks & Rec
Take a break from
hanging with your AC and visit one of these parks for some fresh air – well
as fresh as NYC air can be.
We know it’s been sizzling and the best way to ride this heat wave is with a drink in hand. Grab your fave beverage, grab some friends and head on over to one of these spots for a relaxing afternoon basking in the sun. Try Brooklyn Bridge Park for a chill, hipster vibe or Washington Square Park to kick it like a collegiate. Don’t miss out on these places to get your drink on once the clock strikes 5 – or maybe sooner ;)   |

Trainspotting
Commuters rejoice!
The MTA has just released a new transportation app that is aiming to relieve
some of the stress of traveling around the city.
MYmta aims to give
app users real-time updates on arrivals and service statuses on trains,
buses, and subways in a user-friendly fashion.
Replacing the
existing service, Subway Time, the MYmta app is part of the MTA’s mission to
fix some of the key issues that the city’s public transportation faces and
hopes to also include updates on the city’s bridges and tunnels in the near
future.
So, to all you
spirit-broken commuters, hope may lie at the end of the tunnel. The test
version of MYmta is currently available for Apple and Android devices.

Sunset City
If you feel like
you’ve been walking on sunshine lately, it’s not just you! Manhattanhenge is
returning for its second leg this week.
If you’ve never
heard of Manhattanhenge before, we’re about to shed some light on the
situation so listen up. This rare and beautiful occurrence only happens twice
a year when the sunset perfectly aligns with Manhattan’s grid.
With the first round
of the phenomenon occurring in May earlier this year, it’s come back again
for you to catch on Thursday July 12th and Friday the 13th.
Prime spots for the
best Insta-worthy pics include Tudor City Place near the United Nations
building as well as the overpass near Grand Central Terminal on Park Ave
above 42nd Street. If you’re able to scrap up any luck on the unluckiest day
of the year, you’ll be able to snap a pic among the mobs of tourists and
other New Yorker gawking at the dreamy sky.

high-key beautiful places in New York perfect for a low-key weekend.
Standouts include the man-made path at the Whiteface Mountain Steps where you can hike up the cobblestone steps and take in the beautiful landscape, as well as the Robert H Treman State Park Lower Falls, where you’ll find not only a swimming hole surrounded by breathtaking waterfalls but also 9 miles of hiking trails.
